Pregnancy Ch 29a
Human Development Vocabulary • Pregnancy- an event that occurs from fertilization to birth • Conceptus- developing offspring • Gestation period-time from last menstrual period until birth (~280 days) • Embryo- from fertilization through week 8 • Fetus- from week 9 through birth
Stages of Development Pre-Embryonic Development Fertilization Cleavage Embryonic Development Gastrulation Organogenesis Fetal Development
Fertilization Facts! • Oocyte is viable for 12-24 hrs after ovulation • Sperm are able to fertilize oocyte for up to 48 hrs • In order for fertilization to occur, coitus must take place 48 hrs before-24 hrs after ovulation • Fertilization usually occurs when oocyte is 1/3 way down fallopian tube
Fertilization Corona radiata Zona pellucida
Fertilization first polar body metaphase of second meiotic division
Fertilization • Mitotic spindle with chromatids • 1st polar body • Pellucid zone • Perivitelline space • Cell membrane of the sperm • Kinocilium • Nucleus (compact) of the sperm • Proximal centrosome of the sperm
Fertilization • 1st polar body • Nucleus of the sperm • Proximal centrosome of the sperm • 2nd polar body (being formed) • Remainder of the mitotic spindle
Fertilization polar bodies • Sperm pronucleus • Oocyte pronucleus • Centrosome brought in by the spermatozoon
Approach of Pronuclei • Sperm pronucleus • Oocyte pronucleus • Paternal centrosome • "Inner bodies" • Maternal astral microtubule
Formation of the Zygote • Nucleic membranes of thepronuclei dissolve • Microtubules of the mitotic spindle
Implantation • Blastocyst floats for 2–3 days • Implantation begins 6–7 days after ovulation • Trophoblast adheres to a site with the proper receptors and chemical signals • Inflammatory-like response occurs in the endometrium
Endometrium Uterine endometrial epithelium Inner cell mass Trophoblast Blastocyst cavity Lumen of uterus (a) Figure 28.5a
Implantation • Trophoblasts proliferate and form two distinct layers • Cytotrophoblast (cellular trophoblast): inner layer of cells • Syncytiotrophoblast: cells in the outer layer lose their plasma membranes, invade and digest the endometrium

Implantation • The implanted blastocyst is covered over by endometrial cells • Implantation is completed by the twelfth day after ovulation

Gastrulation Primary Germ Layers Ectoderm Endoderm Mesoderm
Organogenesis Differentiation of primary germ layers into tissues and organs.
Metabolic changes during pregnancy • Caloric intake increases 300 + Kcal/day • Elevated PTH and Vitamin D • HPL causes mom to metabolize fatty acids, leaving glucose for fetus • 10% of mothers will present with gestational diabetes • 50% of those with gestational diabetes will later develop Type II Diabetes
